Durant. Oden. Law IV. Brooks. Green and Hibbert. Noah, Horford and Brewer. Wright and Rush. Afflalo. They all are going to be major players in the 2007 NCAA Tournament but the great deciders are from Chapel Hill. The Tar Heels have size up front with Tyler Hansbrough and Brandon Wright. They have depth in the backcourt with Ty Lawson, Wayne Eliington, Bobby Frasor and Wes Miller. They've got Reyshawn Terry to remind them of how tough this road to a national championship is considering he won one in 2004. They've got one of the best head coaches in the country in Roy Williams.

The biggest problem facing Carolina is their overall youth. In a perfect world Ty Lawson would be a fifth year senior with 120+ games under his belt giving him the experience to put all of his guys exactly where they needed to be when the frenetic pace of their fast break offense was slowed and they had to play a half court game. However, when you're going to face a pair of Longhorn freshmen in Kevin Durant and point guard D.J. Augustin (barring a major upset) then experience is a moot point.

There are a few chinks in the armor. UNC is 1-3 in games decided by 5 points or less which shows either a lack of heart or a lack of experience. Of their 6 losses, 4 were on the road and 1 was on a neutral site which shows a a lack of discipline in front of less-friendly and plain hostile corwds. Or maybe they just got beat for no other reason than the other team being hungrier and ultimately better that day or days in Virginia Tech's case.

At the end of the day North Carolina has more firepower than any other team in this tournament and an offensive scheme that can break the will of any opponent they draw. Get ready for a great title game. UNC over Florida.
